About Amanda

Amanda Sholty is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who welcomes the courage it takes to seek support and begin change. She has spent six years working across community behavioral health, domestic violence services, healthcare environments, and veteran-focused programs, and she also offers support to caregivers assisting people living with dementia. Those varied experiences inform a practical, compassionate approach that centers each person’s priorities and strengths.

Amanda uses a person-centered and strengths-based framework, approaching the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration in which the individual is treated as the expert on their own life. She works with people on developing coping skills, processing grief, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, and navigating life transitions. Her practice attends to a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

Known for building supportive therapeutic relationships, Amanda focuses on helping clients identify goals and practical steps forward while honoring their values and lived experience. She invites questions and conversation about therapy and is available to discuss how her approach may fit with a person’s needs.

Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take meaningful steps guided by personal values - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships, exploring how early and current attachment experiences shape connection and trust, which can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients lead the pace and direction of work while the therapist offers support and reflection, making it a good fit for building self-esteem and processing grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amanda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs. Together they explore options and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access care from home or while balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to try different formats that best support ongoing work with a licensed professional.
